Ayling wants to end career at Elland Road - Marching On Together 7/4/22

Good Morning. It's Thursday 7th April, and here are the latest headlines from Elland Road

Ayling wants to end career at Elland Road

The Daily Mirror have reported that Luke Ayling wants to spend the rest of his career at Elland Road. The likeable defender has become a crowd favourite since moving to LS11 from Bristol City back in 2016 (for 200k), and has played over 200 games for the club.

Ayling, who turns 31 in the Summer, has just over twelve months left on his contract. During a recent interview, the former Arsenal rookie declared his desire for a contract extension to see him through to retirement.

The wing back position IS an integral part of the way Leeds play, and as such Leeds need to ensure that they are solid in that position. Should Ayling be awarded a new contract beyond 2023? Is Drameh going to be good enough to take over next season, or would you like to see Radrizzani splash the cash this Summer?

Burnley attempt the great escape

Burnley came from behind to inflict maximum damage on both Everton and Leeds as Sean Dyche's men attempt the great escape yet again. Although the Clarets still currently the final relegation slot, they move within a point of Everton, and six points of Leeds, with two games in hand.

Everton have played the same number of games as Burnley (29), but are in a wretched run of form. Out of twelve league games in 2022, they have won twice (including a 3-0 victory over Leeds) and lost ten. Even the Goodison faithful have turned on Frank Lampard.

Watford feels like a sliding door moment

Replying to a fan on 'The Athletic', Phil Hay has described Saturday's crunch tie at Vicarage Road as a 'sliding door moment'. The Elland Road journalist believes that a win on Saturday would put Leeds firmly in control of their destiny, whilst a loss could plunge the Whites back into the danger zone.

"Watford feels like a sliding door moment - get a result there and the season is well under control. Lose, and it’s all up for grabs again".

Leeds United have been handed some good news ahead of their first season back in the Championship. By Georgia Goulding After they were relegated from the Premier League last season, Leeds United prepared themselves to lose several key players on the transfer market this summer. Indeed, they’ve already seen the likes of Tyler Roberts and Rodrigo move onto pastures new, and Robin Koch has gone out on loan to Eintracht Frankurt before his contract expires next year.

However, they have been handed a boost as rising star Charlie Cresswell has confirmed he is committed to the future of the club and wants to ‘achieve the dream’ he’s had with Leeds since he was young. Speaking on the Official Leeds United Podcast, the 20-year-old discussed how he had some offers come in for him this window but his desire it to remain at Leeds and become a regular part of Dani
